[01:31] ---
    1945.
[01:33] ---
    The 501st Joint Fighter Wing "Strike
    Witches" become famous for stopping
[01:38] ---
    the Neuroi's supposedly-impossible
    attack across the Rhine.
[01:42] ---
    I'm Miyafuji Yoshika, I'm one of them!
[01:46] ---
    Cut!
[01:46] ---
    You're too stiff.
[01:48] ---
    I'm not ready to make a movie!
[01:50] ---
    Can't I refuse?
[01:50] ---
    "Miyafuji, Are You Making a Movie?"
[01:51] ---
    They specifically gave
    you this mission because
[01:54] ---
    you're a hero who can inspire Fusou.
[01:57] ---
    What do I say?
[01:59] ---
    Just be honest about your career.
[02:02] ---
    Honest?
[02:04] ---
    Hello.
[02:05] ---
    I'm Miyafuji, I became famous
    for sitting on the front lines,
[02:08] ---
    going on trips, and doing chores.
[02:09] ---
    That part you can lie about!
[02:12] ---
    Fine. I'll put in some narration
    to cover it. So just act normal.
[02:16] ---
    Okay...
[02:17] ---
    Miyafuji Yoshika is still
    fighting on the front lines.
[02:21] ---
    She battles...
[02:23] ---
    --Battles...
    --I have to redo the laundry for 16 people!
[02:26] ---
    --I have to redo the laundry for 16 people!
[02:28] ---
    What you just saw is because there aren't
    enough people on the front lines.
[02:31] ---
    Once the chores are done
    it's time for a mission.
[02:33] ---
    St. Trond base is right on the front lines.
[02:36] ---
    Two witches remain on standby at all times
    to deal with anything that may come...
SIGN    "Today's Witches on Standby Erica Hartmann Miyafuji Yoshika"
[02:40] ---
    Anything may come...
[02:44] ---
    Um, she says that the battlefield
    is a high-stress environment
[02:47] ---
    and you need to sleep when you can.
[02:50] ---
    Hartmann!
[02:53] ---
    Cut!
[02:54] ---
    Miyafuji, hold the camera for me!
[02:56] ---
    Um, this is Barkhorn.
[02:59] ---
    Rules are very important to her.
[03:01] ---
    And...
[03:01] ---
    We're comrades and family...
[03:04] ---
    And she's doing it out of love,
    so please don't call the cops!
[03:08] ---
    You recorded that, huh?
[03:10] ---
    --What's going on here?
    --I guess we'll just cut it in post.
[03:12] ---
    A camera?
[03:13] ---
    Miyafuji's holding my pants and hairbrush.
[03:16] ---
    "Good morning."
[03:18] ---
    And I'm so cute...
[03:20] ---
    You're pulling a prank on me when I sleep!
[03:22] ---
    No.
[03:23] ---
    You've been smelling me and
    licking my hairbrush, haven't you?
[03:27] ---
    No!
[03:29] ---
    You see, here's the deal...
[03:31] ---
    Squad Leader Sakamoto's at the Rhine,
    dealing with the Yamato's mess,
[03:34] ---
    and she asked me to help...
[03:35] ---
    I see. An idol video.
[03:37] ---
    No.
[03:38] ---
    Want some help?
[03:39] ---
    No!
[03:41] ---
    You're always such a slacker,
[03:44] ---
    I can't let you handle anything
    important to Miyafuji...
[03:48] ---
    You're terrible!
[03:50] ---
    Nobody will remember something so generic.
[03:54] ---
    What?
[03:55] ---
    I deal with the media all the time.
    I'll show you how it's done.
[03:59] ---
    First, you need a phrase that's memorable.
[04:02] ---
    "Miyafuji? I know her.
[04:04] ---
    She's the girl who went from civilian
    to ace pilot and became a hero!"
[04:09] ---
    Show some rubble to gather pity,
[04:12] ---
    and show the destruction
    wrought by the Neuroi...
[04:14] ---
    No, your room's just a mess...
[04:17] ---
    Remember to look up at the
    camera with tears in your eyes,
[04:19] ---
    pleading with the viewer.
[04:21] ---
    That'll send your views
    into the stratosphere.
[04:23] ---
    And drastically reduce trust in the media...
[04:27] ---
    My narration idea is better than
    all that complicated stuff.
[04:30] ---
    Show us, then.
[04:33] ---
    Fine. Here I go!
[04:33] ---
    "Miyafuji Yoshika's Trails of Glory"
[04:34] ---
    --That script is so thick!
    --Bear witness to the glories of Miyafuji...
[04:37] ---
    --Oh, time for a mission.
    --Let's jump right into this.
[04:40] ---
    --Just who is Officer Miyafuji?
[04:41] ---
    --Open the door...
    --Just who is Officer Miyafuji?
[04:42] ---
    Yoshika Miyafuji, born 1929,
    on August 18th, in Kamakura.
[04:48] ---
    Her family runs the Miyafuji Clinic.
[04:51] ---
    Because of her healing powers,
    she was offered a spot in the 501st,
[04:54] ---
    one of the world's ace fighter units.
[04:56] ---
    You're good at that, but we can't use it.
[04:58] ---
    Why?
[04:59] ---
    You're leaking all her personal information!
[05:01] ---
    Personal information?
    I've never heard that word.
[05:02] ---
    "This story takes place in 1945!"
[05:05] ---
    "Fusou Empire Kanagawa Prefecture
    Kamakura City Akashi 999."
[05:05] ---
    Look, that's the address for Miyafuji Clinic.
[05:08] ---
    I'm telling you it's a bad idea!
[05:10] ---
    She sacrificed her magic power
    to destroy the Neuroi nest
[05:10] ---
    "She's crying!!"
[05:13] ---
    that ruled over Europe...
[05:15] ---
    And she ceased to be a witch!
[05:18] ---
    --She was supposed to go to the world's
    top medical school after that, but...
[05:18] ---
    --So what problems have you
    faced without your magic?
    --She was supposed to go to the world's top medical school after that, but...
[05:18] ---
    "Besides healing"
[05:21] ---
    --You're asking that now?
    --She was supposed to go to the world's
    top medical school after that, but...
[05:23] ---
    I can't use my shields anymore.
[05:26] ---
    Oh, in combat?
[05:27] ---
    No, it was handy to keep the grease
    from splattering on me when I cooked.
[05:32] ---
    Oh.
[05:34] ---
    It's a shame you can't go to medical school
[05:36] ---
    after all the studying you did, though.
[05:39] ---
    There's other ways to help
    people besides being a doctor.
[05:42] ---
    Even if all I'm helping with is
    the chores, I'm still helping...
[05:46] ---
    I can see you're upset!
[05:48] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[05:48] ---
    "Don't ignore me!!"
[05:49] ---
    Keep going.
[05:50] ---
    On her journey to the school
    she encountered the Neuroi again...
[05:53] ---
    In her desire to save others during a
    desperate battle, her magic returned...
[05:58] ---
    And she came back to the 501st!
[06:02] ---
    We're together again!
[06:03] ---
    She's a hero if you just
    listen to her history.
[06:06] ---
    "I suddenly realized..."
[06:06] ---
    Hmm... maybe Miyafuji isn't actually
    interested in this project?
[06:10] ---
    Is this true?
[06:12] ---
    Yes, because...
[06:14] ---
    I think everybody who fights
    the Neuroi is a hero!
[06:19] ---
    Miyafuji!
[06:20] ---
    That's a great line.
[06:22] ---
    And why don't you want to be in the movie?
[06:24] ---
    I mean it!
[06:26] ---
    But if my country views me as a hero,
[06:29] ---
    "They're actually planning a bronze statue now"
[06:30] ---
    they'll make a shrine with my name on it!
[06:33] ---
    We need to show her healing magic.
[06:36] ---
    I can do that at lunch.
[06:38] ---
    At lunch?
[06:40] ---
    Sashimi?
[06:42] ---
    This is from Gallia! Which means...
[06:43] ---
    ...four to five days have passed
    since it was fished.
[06:45] ---
    Is she planning to get us sick and heal us?
[06:48] ---
    No!
[06:49] ---
    Wow! It's like it's alive!
[06:52] ---
    But how?
[06:54] ---
    It's amazing, but they
    didn't put it in the movie.
[06:58] ---
    The only other thing we didn't
    cover was the 501st itself.
[07:01] ---
    Nobody else is here, yeah. Where are they?
[07:04] ---
    Mina's doing some political maneuvering
    to get the 501st back together.
[07:07] ---
    Several others are getting angry lectures
    from the local fishing cooperatives
[07:09] ---
    for bring a battleship into a river.
[07:11] ---
    Two were sold off to the
    Red Pants to pay debts.
[07:15] ---
    I'm looking at the chart
[07:16] ---
    and a lot of them are working
    off the base coming back late.
[07:19] ---
    Well, we just need them here
    when something happens.
[07:21] ---
    Couldn't I have gone to school, then?
[07:25] ---
    No! I've never seen
    that face from Miyafuji!
[07:28] ---
    Actually, everybody's getting together
    after this to help promote the movie.
[07:33] ---
    Really?
[07:34] ---
    We need everybody together, you know!
[07:37] ---
    Really?
[07:38] ---
    You brought the Neuroi here for me?
[07:40] ---
    I meant the members of the 501st!
[07:42] ---
    Miyafuji Yoshika will continue
    to fight to save others!
[07:47] ---
    At a time like this?
[07:48] ---
    Stop the camera!
[07:50] ---
    "Next Day"
[07:50] ---
    I got called early in the morning
    by Wing Commander Mina that day.
[07:55] ---
    Morning Barkhorn!
[07:58] ---
    Morning, Miyafuji.
[07:59] ---
    "Commander's Office"
[08:00] ---
    I'm coming in, Commander Mina.
[08:02] ---
    Come in!
[08:05] ---
    I need to talk about our future.
[08:08] ---
    Has the date of the 501st
    being reformed been decided?
[08:11] ---
    Fun days are beginning!
[08:14] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[08:16] ---
    The reformation isn't going well at all...
[08:20] ---
    I tried my best, but they insist
    on bringing Miyafuji back to Fusou.
[08:25] ---
    Even you can't do it?
[08:26] ---
    "Ring!"
[08:27] ---
    There's the call.
[08:30] ---
    Hello?
[08:31] ---
    So, what makes you think you
    can rip apart our family?
[08:35] ---
    Sorry. You're right.
[08:38] ---
    I'll put her on.
[08:39] ---
    No!
[08:42] ---
    Hello?
[08:43] ---
    Yoshika, come home!
[08:46] ---
    Mom?
[08:47] ---
    I know you were traumatized by the Neuroi,
[08:50] ---
    and the newspaper said that the
    Neuroi attacked while you were
[08:53] ---
    on your exchange program and you almost died!
[08:55] ---
    But you're still...
[08:57] ---
    Can I tell her the truth?
[08:59] ---
    Negative.
[09:01] ---
    Mom!
[09:02] ---
    The latest medical science shows
[09:04] ---
    the best way to recover from trauma
    is to go right back to the battlefield!
[09:09] ---
    The latest medical science?
[09:11] ---
    Yoshika, come home safe!
[09:14] ---
    I'm a terrible daughter.
[09:15] ---
    Good job!
[09:17] ---
    Your studies paid off!
[09:19] ---
    I'm really sorry!
[09:22] ---
    But now our family...
[09:24] ---
    Well, you see...
[09:26] ---
    We split up and everybody went
    back to their old units, right?
[09:29] ---
    And those units are saying they
    don't want to lose those members...
[09:33] ---
    Just let them whine like usual.
[09:36] ---
    That's right!
[09:38] ---
    Then I'll go and persuade
    them and pay them back.
[09:42] ---
    I understand persuading them,
    but paying them back?
[09:46] ---
    During my journey the other day,
[09:48] ---
    all the members of the 501st
    left their units to come help.
[09:51] ---
    So we caused problems for all those units...
[09:55] ---
    This isn't good,
[09:56] ---
    as moving as it is.
[09:58] ---
    Why?
[10:00] ---
    It would be much better for the movie
    if you said that in front of the camera!
[10:03] ---
    I'll go get it!
[10:05] ---
    Are we doing that call again?
[10:07] ---
    That's a negative.
[11:40] ---
    "Yamakawa Michiko's
    World Witches Classroom"
[11:41] ---
    It's Yamakawa Michiko's
    World Witches Classroom!
[11:45] ---
    Hello, everybody!
[11:47] ---
    It's me, the famous Fuso witch
[11:51] ---
    Miyafuji Yoshika's childhood and
    best friend, Yamakawa Michiko!
[11:56] ---
    In this segment, I'll be introducing you
    to the members of the 502nd
[12:00] ---
    and telling you all about the witches!
[12:05] ---
    Our theme today is none other than witches!
[12:09] ---
    "Witches"
[12:11] ---
    Our world has always had stories
[12:15] ---
    of strange supernatural creatures
    that threaten our peaceful lives.
[12:21] ---
    But one day, people appeared who
    could fight them, people with magic.
[12:30] ---
    Most of them were young women.
    Especially young girls.
[12:34] ---
    People began to call them witches.
[12:39] ---
    The witches have used their power to
    protect the people from these monsters,
[12:44] ---
    just like how they fight the Neuroi today.
[12:48] ---
    So of course, all the witches
    are talented and kind people.
[12:53] ---
    Yoshika is no different!
[12:57] ---
    Witches are amazing and great!
[13:04] ---
    "Petersburg 502nd Joint Fighter Wing"
[13:05] ---
    It's me, Miyafuji Yoshika.
[13:07] ---
    Next time we'll be meeting the 502nd
    Joint Fighter Wing, the Brave Witches.
[13:13] ---
    The hero will be Karibuchi Hikari!
[13:15] ---
    I've never met her,
    and I wonder what she's like.
[13:19] ---
    "Next time:
    Hikari, You're Taking a Test?"
[13:20] ---
    Next time: "Hikari, You're Taking a Test?"
[13:23] ---
    This time, World Witches is actually taking off?
[13:28] ---
    
[13:30] ---
